Spontaneous Orgasms - Are They for Real?

I was watching this television show and one of the stories on it was about this woman who was suffering from spontaneous orgasms. It seem that she had no control of when or where they occurred. Some of the characters on this show seem envious of this. Other characters just seem interested. As the story went on, the woman was supposed to get an operation that would cure her.

As I watched this, I began to wonder. Could this be real? Is there such a thing as spontaneous orgasms?

I looked up the term and found that spontaneous orgasms means experiencing an orgasm without any physical stimulation. But what I didn't find is many stories on it.

I did find out that when this does occur, it only occurs in woman. Some articles went on to say that this was a good thing. They believed that if men could have an orgasm without participating in the what we consider normal love making acts. lovemaking would hardly ever occur.

I found a few cases where women claimed to be suffering from this spontaneous orgasm without doing anything to cause it. Some doctors believe that this could have been caused by friction from wearing tight fitting panty hose or pants.

I did find out that some medicines, especially anti-depressants such as Prozac, Zoloft and Wellbuturin can cause this. In a study, spontaneous orgasms was reported by 5% of patients taking these drugs. But the orgasms were not considered severe, they were more like light twinges. This is an unusual side effect for these kinds of medicines. Most people who are taking these medicines experiences the reverse effect, low sex drive and experience less orgasms or none. Another medicine L-dopa which is given to people to help control Parkinson's disease also has spontaneous orgasms listed as one of its side effects.

Are there any other factors that could cause a spontaneous orgasm? Some evidence proves that a seizure disorder could cause this to happen, too. But it does not happen often.
